This is the tankadin weapon that protection paladins have been waiting for since 2.1 for the end game tanking without having to compete against the unhappy mages and warlocks for all the high spell damage swords (which all seem to have useless +spell crit except the one from archimonde).

Tons of stamina, spell hit, spell damage and a nice fast attack speed make this ideal for tankadins everywhere.

Also good for shadow priests.

Comment by Reeve

Our Hyjal tankadin was saving arena points for the Merciless spell damage mace, but once he sees this he'll be happy as a clam.

Comment by oioichuck

This item was introduced in patch 2.2 and drops from Battle for Hyjal and Black Temple 'trash'.

Comment by Swordwaltzer

Am I stupid in thinking most shadowpriests would actually prefer the Najentus-dagger over this mace? As far as I know the average shadowpriest is already at the hitrating cap with talents, and as such crit would be much more useful than additional hit.

best tanakdin weapon ever

Comment by Potjeh

This is the *best* shadowpriest weapon you can get at Mount Hyal / Black Temple level of raiding.

As someone said, if you have surplus +hit, you can remove those talents from Shadow Focus and put them somewhere else, like into 3 points needed for Silence (not a "raiding talent" but very handy for that occasional PvP or grinding).

Comment by Freedomstone

This is the highest lvl weapon with the least amount of base damage :>

Comment by Amrod314

I got this last night, the spell hit is very nice. I was thinking of getting the BT dagger however upon second thought, this is better. It allows allocation of talent points else where.

Expect competition from Protadins and Elemental shamans :).

If you are a moonkin....or have moonkin as sidespec, this mace is the best choice you can get. The spell hit is awsome. The spell damage is awsome...Get a sweet offhand to go with it...and you are uber..

Looks like one of those wooden things you serve honey with.

Only, shinier.

Comment by Tieran

Will you guys please stop crying about this being SP loot or Tankadin loot or whatever.

In my guild we have a policy that generally speaking loot goes to someone who is willing to pay the DKP (first and foremost) and to whoever the item is a big upgrade for.

Unless your guild is full of ninja officers or doesn't want to make progress then the same thing is likely in your guild.

I am a Paladin and if a shadow priest asked it of me I would pass this weapon without a second thought, because I know 2 things:

*Its gonna drop again....*If he has asked me to pass it then it must be a big upgrade for him and upgrades for him mean better dps on the raid which = more dead bosses which means access to better loot for all.*Its gonna drop again....

Oh and Masterloco who are you Kidding LOLOL if you are a prot paladin and you consider this weapon a waste re-roll mate rofl...

Comment by durenas

2 of these dropped in our first night in Hyjal. Yeah, I don't think loot priority is gonna be a problem.

Comment by Skotinos

Does this drop in BT also or only MH?

Comment by metsfan

to Skotinos:

lol that really sucks, we're only 3/5 hyjal and we've gotten 5 of these things. they wont stop dropping! now our paladin tank, both our shadow priests, and both our boomkins (yes thats right we have 2 boomkins) all have this thing. we really don't have anyone else to give it to, next one is probably going to our resto shammy for elemental off spec

Comment by fishish

Just picked this item up from learning trash fights in hyjal, First try. very happy, what was great tho is when it dropped, the raid had 0 shadow priests, 0 boomkins, 0 elemental shammys and one tankadin(me:D). for some odd reason, i guess warlocks can wield maces now (No you cant) and had two of them roll against me on it, still won it (loot master wasnt retarted) and they had the balls to complain about it. kinda got the "you're a tank, thats not a tank weapon" reaction, which goes to show, most people dont understand tankadin gear choices, and especially in this case, not even there own toons.

great stats, lame color.

Comment by Bakhoj

This is a nice mace, i just got it on my S-priest and i can tell it is a great boost not just for the dmg+ but also i can now shift out some of my +dmg/+hit gems and get pure +dmg gems.Nice choice for a S-priest, but also for others that can use +dmg mace.

Comment by Hazzelhoff

Strangely... As a prot pally I prefer the Zul Aman mace becuase it hits faster and only has 19 less spelldmg.Pallys hit slowly enough anyway. With the Zul Aman mace I can stack up my venagence DOT faster and actually have slightly higher tps exept during AoE. This mace is nice in Hyjal for the trash. Though I still prefer my Zul Aman hammer for bosses and non-AoE trash.

And yeah it drops all the time. We had 3 drops before Rage last night... If you want it you'll probably get it on your first run.

Comment by lazn

We had two drop for us today in Hyjal our part time protadin got the first, and I got the second. Not a bad piece to be perfectly honest. I replaced my badge dagger with this, and the 22 hit is worth the loss of 11 spell damge (technically 12.5 if you want to factor in the loss of int due to the spell damage talent moonkin get).

Definitely a fantastic upgrade thanks to it letting me free up some other gear slots for non-hit items, and now I can finally move some haste into my build. I certainly recommend it to any other raiding moonkins who want a little more flexibility.

The Maelstrom's Fury dropped for me the week before in BT, and I passed on it, and now I'm kind of glad, as I would've ended up replacing it with this item anyway. Crit just doesn't weigh as heavily as it used to back in the T4 days.

I do think protadins should get prefence on this item regardless though, the badge dagger is very comparable to this item and paladin's just don't have the option to go for that. The ZA hammer is arguably better/equivalent as well, but really if the protadin is one of your top three tanks in the raid, it's going to do everyone a lot more good for them to have it.

But, that's something for your Loot Council/DKP System to decide in the end.

Comment by fibby

The low drop rate is listed because many people did Hyjal before this item existed and there is a LOT of trash mobs that get killed everyday. Hyjal was added in 2.1, and this item was added in 2.2.Actually the drop rate for this item is much less than listed. We have been doing Hyjal with our guild for a month already, in which time we killed roughly 1500-2000 trash mobs. The hammer hasn't dropped once. If the stated drop rate was correct then the probability of not having a single mace is 0.0006% - 0.00001%.

There could be several reasons why the drop rate is listed higher than it actually is: first, not all mobs there drop anything at all, such mobs will not be taken into account when calculating probability. Second reason is possible incorrect handling of loot when it is on group (or master loot). Since "epic" loot can be seen by anybody while common loot (coins, cloth, etc) is visible to one person only, it leads to artificial inflation of drop rates.

Comment by Drainu

Dont be egoist and pass this to ur friend tankadin. I did it as a shadowpriest because its not really worth it - my weapon was http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34611 with a +12 spell gem - 215 spelldmg versus 22 spell hit and 235 spell dmg guess what? it dropped off from the next day! And casters such boomkins ele shamans and spriests have the dagger option from BT anyway and paladins have to struggle with mages and warlocks for Tempest of Chaos or wait a long time to get the mace of Brutallus.. It drops really fast 2 holy priest and 2 holy pala have it :P

It is just for female players and 4% ppl- IT IS PINK!

Comment by Roflcopteer3500

On my tankadin i have the Sunward Crest. Should i get this mace and the Merciless Gladiator´s Barrier? I don´t know which shield is better for me.

Comment by rolee

Comment by Nedorian70

Looks like this weapon will no longer be a good paladin tanking weapon when the new patch hits.

Comment by Kalyssa

So glad I saved this in my bank, long before transmog was announced. I've run hyjal on my alts and I've never seen this drop again. Good luck. There's some classes that can solo this.. you could reset the trash

Comment by shiroman1

This weapon does not show enchants.

Comment by xXJonoXx

For the purpose of Transmogrification, this weapon DOES NOT show Power Torrent when you apply it to a weapon that has it.

Comment by ddiehr

Warning to those thinking of farming this for xmog. Make sure the destination weapon for this beauty is a MAIN HAND mace. I spent a long time farming this, in order to pair it with Shield of the Wayward Footman on my tank, only to notice that I couldn't use it on my one-handed mace. Adding insult to injury I did discover that the xmog is possible the other way around. :(
